But Buckley opposed the claims Thursday, claiming that he actually put his weight down and released video evidence to refute the torture claim.

The video shows Abrego Garcia seems to have good spirits, playing football and soccer, exercising with prisoners, gardening and relaxing while watching widescreen TV in his cell, and other leisurely activities.

“Why does he look so good in every photo if he is tortured, sleep deprivation and hunger?” Buckler wrote on X. “Why did he have to gain weight? Why didn’t he have any bruises, or even dark circles?”

Abrego Garcia’s lawyer claimed that when he arrived, he was immediately tied to his cell by prison guards who kicked him with boots and beat him with a wooden baton along the way, leaving visible bumps and bruises on his body.

He and the other detainees in the cell sleep on metal mattresses, getting minimal food and satisfaction. According to the documents, they were also forced to kneel for about nine hours, from 9 a.m. to 6 a.m., “guards defeated the tired men in the strike.”

They claimed that he was psychologically tortured and threatened with violence during his time at Cecot, and the prison guards repeatedly told him that they would transfer him to prison cells of other violent gang members, who promised that he would “tear” him apart.
